Only 3 weeks left till Nylander either laces up or takes an extended vacation... At this point i feel he's lacing up with another team or taking that vaca
I was hearing his salary was agreed upon and that the special features were being worked out... but now I read the TML's believe to be calling his bluff? ..." seeing where this goes "...
Been so focused on the current squad I haven't thought about the "Nylander what ifs" for a couple weeks.

-providing a Nylander update, or lack thereof, on Sportsnet 960 on Monday.
I don’t think there is much going on contract wise. The one thing is, people are like, “Do teams need permission to talk to him?” You don’t. He’s not signed. He is an RFA, so anyone can talk to him, and teams have.
I think the thing that is interesting is that I think they know that Carolina is very interested. I think Carolina has some of what they want. I think Kings are very interested; I just don’t think the Kings have what they want. I think Minnesota is interested, but I am not convinced Minnesota has what they want; I just don’t know, to be perfectly honest.
I think there are other teams, too. But I think Carolina is right in there. He fits the kind of thing that Carolina would want to do. They’ve got to get Aho done. They’ve got to get Teravainen done. They’ve got to get Ferland done. But I don’t think that’s going to prevent them, necessarily, from doing anything.
I think there is a lot of interest. I would think that Toronto is going to take — I don’t know if another chance is the right answer — but I think they are determined that they are going to be patient and see where this goes. We are three weeks away now. He’s got to sign by December 1st or he can’t play. I think Toronto always wanted to keep him, but I think there is the realization now that that might not be possible.
